COUPLES THERAPY IN MINNETONKA
Improve communication & restore intimacy.
You love each other, but things feel hard right now.
Relationships are like a dance. Sometimes, we’re right in step with our partner. And other times, we keep stepping on each other’s toes. You want to feel in sync again, but you’re not sure how to do it. Any attempts to repair things either fail or go unnoticed. It’s exhausting and overwhelming to not feel like you’re on the same page with your partner. You start to tip toe around, hoping to not set off an argument but it inevitably happens. You likely wonder, “How did we get here?”
You’ve likely experienced a lot together - new jobs, moving in, marriage, becoming parents - and I imagine it impacts each of you differently. Right now, you’re having a hard time communicating in a way that each of you can understand and you’re left feeling isolated in a relationship that is meant to make you feel connected.
Feeling heard and understood with your partner is an incredible thing to experience - all you want is to feel connected again so that you can tackle the harder things in life together.
You’re tired of feeling caught in this cycle:
You tell your partner your feelings are hurt and they immediately get defensive.
You feel attacked and defend yourself. All of a sudden, you’re in full blown argument.
The two of you go in circles until you’re too tired to keep going and give up.
It never gets talked about again… Until it happens again.
how i can help
Couples therapy can help you solve problems together
Each of you come to your relationship with a different perspective. Together, you have the power to complement one another beautifully. Yet, your differences can quickly and easily lead you to conflict. You feel stuck - and this is the place to get you unstuck.
When you understand what happens for you during an argument, and you open yourself to understanding what happens for your partner, your relationship can blossom into a strong powerhouse of problem solving. Suddenly, you feel unstuck.
Repair in relationships builds stronger connections and intimacy. Being able to argue safely and fairly together can lead to a more secure, robust relationship.
You have what it takes to take your relationship to the next level. Couples Therapy will guide you into a new perspective of understanding one another and equip you with the skills to repair and stay unstuck.

Common questions about couples therapy

There might be a time that individual sessions are needed, but those sessions will continue to remain around couples’ issues. I make clear to couples clients that I do not keep secrets, anything that is discussed in individual sessions will be brought back into sessions altogether in a manner deemed appropriate.
I also offer individual therapy focused on relationship concerns.

Yes! I have specific training in Discernment Counseling, which is designed to help couples ‘discern’ whether they wish to stay married as things are currently, separate/divorce, or participate in couples therapy to save the marriage. This service is a maximum of 5 sessions.
